Book Description

Excerpt from Bulletin of the California Teachers' Association: Supplement to the Sierra Educational News; State Uniformity and State Publication of High School Textbooks; Brief and Reports by California High School Teachers' Association, California High School Principals' Convention, California Council of Education Part I Of the Bulletin concerns itself chiefly with the economic considera tions of Uniformity; Part II deals mainly with the educational phases of State Uniformity. At its meeting in Fresno in January last, the High School Principals' Con vention went on record as' against State Uniformity of High School Texts. A committee representing this convention has been working in conjunction with a committee appointed by the High School Teachers Association at its regular session of 1916 at Berkeley. This Association voted unanimously in favor of a resolution opposing State Uniformity of High School Textbooks. The Chair man oi this latter Committee, as Chairman of a Committee from the California Teachers' Association, two years ago, instituted a state - wide investigation as to the attitude of the school people of the state regarding the question at issue. The replies were practically unanimous against state uniformity. It thus appears that the statements and conclusions here presented stand not only upon the argu ments here outlined, but are backed by the opinions of the workers in the field, these opinions being based upon their experience, their observation and their intimate knowledge Of the real needs of the schools.
